Birthplace

Cape Cod or Glens Falls? Past discussions indicate it's Glens Falls. --Ronz (talk) 19:46, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology or Article?

I just read this "article" for the first time, and I noticed that it seems to written more like a chronology than an encyclopedia article. There doesn't seem to any flow to it, and most sentences have dates with an occurrence of something. Has anyone else noticed this? 74.107.146.22 (talk) 20:37, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Age

Rachel Ray said on an episode of her daytime talk show (when Jennifer Anniston was on) that she is 43 years old, not 42. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.133.18 (talk) 20:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]


EDIT: SOURCE ADDED: http://www.accesshollywood.com/jennifer-aniston-reveals-ageism-concerns-admits-to-protesting-frog-dissection-as-a-teen_article_43899 It says it in the text, but also if you watch the video, you clearly see Rachel say she is 43. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.133.18 (talk) 02:54, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

Those 2 photos of Ms. Ray, esp. the first one, make her look very unattractive and noticeably overweight, yet she's been rated among the most attractive women in the US. I know that photos are not as accurate or consistent as they might appear to be, but if these are representative, she's a dog and a half. If they are not, this article needs to change them.

Husband cheated on her

Her husband was unfaithful to her and no one bothered to post it.

So a blog says this claim (ie, unsubstantiated and unconfirmed) comes from "... an interview with the National Enquirer", quite the paragon of high quality reporting. Really tops out on the reliability scale, no? This arguably shouldn't even be on the talk page. Gimmetoo (talk) 11:06, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If it weren't real, than it should still have be posted as "False news" or something. If it shouldn't be on the talk page, than you implied that it should be on her actual page. Thanks Majinsnake (talk 31, MAY 2011 (UTC)

BS posted somewhere does not get elevated to "False News" and automatically get a place in the article, otherwise we would all be living in a "garbage-ocracy". If it was all over the press, and then proven false, that would be different.

People have "bothered to post it" but someone, "Gimmetoo," keeps taking it down even after the Daily Mail in the UK reported on it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2267071/Rachael-Rays-husband-repeatedly-visited-Manhattan-swing-club---marriage-celebrity-chef.html Gimmetoo seems to have a reason for what he/she/it is doing, but Rachael made her husband news when she broadcast her wedding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.232.250.44 (talk) 17:50, 30 January 2013

What you're trying to add is 1) from an unnamed source, 2) identified as a "sensational claim", 3) is a claim, not oonfirmed. All that makes it inappropriate per WP:BLP. Even if it were properly sourced to a reliable source with appropriate journalistic levels of confirmation, the info is about her husband, not her. She is the focus of this article.

Ethnicity

Is she part Cajun?

Chef?

I removed the word chef from the description, because Rachael Ray has never had any formal training, let alone being an actual chef. Even calling her a cook is being generous. 124.168.181.224 (talk) 00:21, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a forum of expressing your personal opinions, much less changing an article to fit them. --Ronz (talk) 01:26, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a "personal opinion" that Rachael Ray is not a chef. She herself has admitted on numerous occasions that she is not a chef, and that she has no formal training. She has been known to become borderline defensive when called a chef. So, unless she was lying, those aren't "personal opinions," they're facts. The previous user did probably take it too far with his/her "[e]ven calling her a cook is being generous" comment--that one IS a personal opinion--but the rest is spot on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.247.185.162 (talk) 21:35, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[1] [2] Celebrity chef is the term used by Forbes, etc. Gimmetoo (talk) 21:38, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rachael Ray (tv show) name changed?

I saw on tv today the show is named "Rachael" now she has seemed to drop the "Ray" from the shows name. 72.2.252.159 (talk) 19:05, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism/Controversy?

I've noticed this article doesn't contain any criticism or controversy regarding Rachael, yet there are several articles to be found online regarding it. 173.21.95.112 (talk) 02:09, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Several articles critizing Racheal Rays ownership of a pitbull dog that has attacked other dogs five times while on a leash and under the care of trained handlers. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/rachael_rayging_pit_bull_ordeal_eWJO7IMFCfhpcmzigecKVM This link to a New York article is just one article on her pitbull and the dog attacking other dogs. A facebook page on the subject of Rachael Ray and pitbulls is also not mentioned. The page is called Rachael Ray's pitbull attacks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.235.188.32 (talk) 02:39, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
